Members of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co., its Ladies Auxiliary, Junior Corps and even family members and friends will all be volunteering their time to put on the 26th Annual Sandy Hook LobsterFest. The two-day event returns to Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue’s main station on June 7-8. Seated in front are four of this year’s LobsterFest committee chairs: George Lockwood Jr, Karin Halstead, Anthony Capozziello and Mike Burton.

The event returns to the company’s main station, at 18-20 Riverside Road. Dinner will be served on Friday from 5 to 9 pm, and Saturday from 4 to 9 pm, and include a full steak or lobster dinner with plenty of sides and even a drink; surf and turf tickets are also available.

Tickets are $24 in advance, until noon Friday (at the firehouse, the fire marshal’s office at Newtown Municipal Center, 3 Primrose Street; and The Newtown Bee’s office, 5 Church Hill Road), and will be $26 at the door. Takeout orders are available.

Children’s dinners, with a burger or hot dog, are $5. A raw bar will also be available for a separate charge, and members of the Ladies Auxiliary will be selling desserts.

Live music will be featured each night, with Midnight Rodeo taking the stage area on Friday and The Hollister Thompson Band returning on Saturday.
